A Dim Sum Feast in SF

On our first night in SF we all wandered along Geary street unable to find a spot we all agreed on for dinner. One of the places we stopped at looked interesting to Paul and I but did not appeal to the rest of the group so we went back on our own for a late lunch on Sunday.

We 'require' a dim sum feast on any trip to SF and having a place like the Shai Lai Seafood restaurant just around the corner was a boon.

The food is tasty, delicious, and hot - VERY hot - you've been warned. When seated you're provided with an "order" list full of descriptive menu items to choose from, and your dim sum dishes are served to you when ready. We were a bit shocked at how quickly the food was prepared and delivered piping hot to our table. We over-ordered as we always do so we brought food home with us.

Lunch for 2 (with over ordering) was about $ 45.

Pork rolls

Shrimp and Chive Dumplings

Steamed Pork Buns

I know- the places we go to in Chinatown in Toronto are good but it is just not the same.
